   Bret Cahill to All   
   $0.79 Clip On LED Light for Phone Batter

   I have a collection of batteries I find cycling.  Yesterday it was a Galaxy   
   Note 4.  You don't have to cycle thousands of km to find a mangled PDA with   
   the dislodged battery nearby.  They leave the phone on the roof to load   
   something into the car which    
   requires both hands.  The phone must absorb most of the 120 km/hr oblique   
   impact because more often than not, the dinged battery is still serviceable,   
   at least as a bike light.     
      
   They need to sell $0.79 clip-on LEDs on Ebay [free shipping] letting cyclists   
   find their own batteries.  Just 2 small alligator clips, the LED, a Si rubber   
   strap and maybe a switch.  If some kid steals your dorky looking bike light   
   when you are inside    
   shopping, it's no big deal.  You are only out of $0.79.
